Program Description

During your bachelor in Biomedical Sciences - Genetics (with Placement) (BSc), you will study specialist areas that will teach you how the role of various genetic mutations alters cellular processes and biomechanical pathways in normal metabolism, and also how these pathways may be altered during specific human diseases.

And if you change your mind about your specialist area, don’t worry. The flexibility of the bachelor in Biomedical Sciences - Genetics (with Placement) (BSc) at Brunel means that you can switch to another specialist pathway in the second year or even take the general Biomedical Sciences BSc.

The Royal Society of Biology has awarded its accreditation to all undergraduate Biomedical Sciences courses. This means you can be confident that your bachelor in Biomedical Sciences - Genetics (with Placement) (BSc) will prepare you for the working world – and your prospective employers will know this too.

You'll receive a one-year’s membership as an Associate Member once you graduate, integrating you into the sector with access to key contacts and up-to-date knowledge.

The placement year costs £1,385.

Course Content

You'll study a range of areas relating to human health from stem cells and genetic manipulation through to food safety. The content of the programme means that you'll graduate with an understanding of the main subject areas in biosciences and medically related research and with an in-depth specialist knowledge of genetics.

Year 1 includes practical lab skills and research skills, alongside a taster of the various pathway options.

Year 2 introduces the biochemical and molecular processes which are altered in various human diseases. You’ll also develop your employability skills in the 'Career Skills' study block.

The placement year will follow year 2, if opted for.

In year 3 you're given the opportunity to gain a further understanding of your specialist interest.

Teaching and Learning

You'll be taught by academics who are actively involved in a wide range of world-leading research. The four main areas of biomedical science research at Brunel are; health and disease, treatments and cures, genomic and epigenomic level, and technology and methodology.

Many of our academics have been involved in making major advances and breakthroughs in human diseases and syndromes. This means you’ll be learning the most up-to-date scientific discoveries in a fast-moving field where our academics teach you leading-edge research through practical experience.

The biomedical sciences teaching team have created a unique teaching and assessment strategy which has been recognised in an award from the Higher Education Academy.
